Interview with Manolis Georgoulis, Greece

Since the dawn of the space age, we have become increasingly dependent on a reliable forecasting system for solar activity, says FLARECAST project coordinator Dr. Manolis K. Georgoulis. He is one of the few solar physicists worldwide specialized in flare prediction. In this interview, he explains how explosions close to the solar surface – flares – can affect life on Earth and why it is important to gain a better understanding of the physics of the Sun.
